submitted by: admin on 10/24/2018
Disinformation, fear, and confusion is what the CDC, White House, FDA, and WHO have created in the great infection deception during the 2009-10 Swine flu "pandemic." And they are at it again!

the mainstream for either problem but we also have failed our economy
and our spirit. Addiction to drugs and...

submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013

Know Yourself with Mike Robbins
submitted by: admin on 10/09/2013
Knowing yourself is required for authenticity. Being authentic means being vulnerable by going into ourselves and being willing to share that. We need to know what is important to us so we can "go for it." Appreciation of the ego is also important. Today's transformation is tomorrow's ego trip.
